On February 17, a group of skiers and their guides were returning from a three-day backcountry trip in the Castle Peak area of Nevada County when they were caught in an avalanche during whiteout conditions. Nine people, six skiers and three guides, died.
The group had continued their backcountry trip after an avalanche watch was issued two days before the avalanche, and an avalanche warning had been issued the morning of the incident.
A total of seven citations were issued to BMG, with proposed penalties totaling $151,300. A spokesperson for the state Department of Industrial Relations said that separate investigation by Cal/OSHA's Bureau of Investigations remains open.
Earlier this month, the Nevada County Sheriff's Office forwarded its findings to the district attorney's office for review of possible criminal charges against the company.
